Serengeti North Wilderness Camp, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
A Tented Camp in Tanzania
Camp Details
Located in the northern part of the Serengeti National Park, not far from the Mara River, is a seasonal Serengeti North Wilderness Camp which is typically open from July to October to coincide with the dramatic river crossings for which the Serengeti is famous. This is a beautiful area – a mix of gently rolling hills and riverine forests, broken by small rivers and occasional granite outcrops and ‘kopjes’. This intimate camp offers ten spacious tents with en-suite facilities, including an eco-friendly flush toilet and gravity shower. The central dining tent complements a cosy lounge tent including a well-stocked bar, reference library and a selection of board games.
Sundowners are typically enjoyed around a crackling campfire, and the safari chef is renowned for his freshly prepared, tasty meals. Drifting off to sleep with the sounds of the wild African bush surrounding you is an experience you will never forget!
